I suppose it depends on what type of tea you're referring to. IMO you can't over-do compost teas. You could use those right up until the day of harvest, and would be particularly beneficial if you plan on re-using the soil. Nutrient teas are probably not needed for the last couple weeks of flower though
StOw, if you keep a log, make a note of flavor if teas even ACT is fed in the last two weeks. Just something I have been picking up lately, the later I feed teas the darker the flavor, whereas left alone it is crisp and clear always. It is a minor difference and might be a total placebo effect. Would be interested to hear your observations over time.
I did the same thing last month. Spent almost $500 on beans when I should have bought another or a better AC unit for summertime. The bean addiction is real. I still window shop for beans every single day even though I don't have money to spend hahaha.
Dude I am in a bitof a pickle due to exactly this. Mid summer and the badboy AC didn't make the budget and none of the beans that broke the budget are getting a run soon... So yeah, been there eh

Anyone grown out either of the BS Sweet Skunk crosses (Elfinstone & Strange Brew)?
My elphinstone test grow went down with the tsd ship, tragically. Pretty sure good google usage will lead you directly to the other place, but I don't want to link to it. Just try google elphinstone and test grow? Its pretty detailed.

I'd love to know as well. The Elfinstone has caught my eye for a while. I'm a Canuck and I'm new to growing so naturally I would like to try something with Breeder Steve's Sweet Skunk considering it's a BC legend.

I also happened to recently harvested some PeakseedsBC Sweet Skunk which 1 of the plants in particular happened to be the best herb I have ever smoked in my life(nearly 20 years toking) and my favorite of the 6 strains of his I grew over the last year. I gotta say I'm not familiar with any sativa like experience and I FUCKING LOVED IT.

Well I do have one confirmed female of Afkan x Snow Lotus. Just was looking over the girls and noticed that happy coincidence.

Going to do some cleaning in the garden tonight and transplant any plants that are ready as well as deal with the clones that are ready to be rooted.

No but years ago I grew BS sweet skunk from clone. One of those plants you wish was still in your garden. That alone makes me very interested.

Plus I've been hearing elfinstone is a yield monster.
Gonna be testing the BS Sweet Skunk x 88G13/Hashplant after the Chem 3 go into flower so stay tuned we will see what comes from these

Chem 3 x 88G13/Hashplant is doing much better since I transplanted to 1gal grow bags. They got stunted a bit from the cold weather these past couple weeks and I think the high pH water I had been using over at the old place made them N toxic but new growth is looking good. 4 more weeks of veg and then I'll transplant to 3gal and flip.

looking very nice @Amos Otis and @bigworm6969 i definitely need to add some Gogi to my grows! :weed:

quick question: how often do you all change out your HPS? do you wait for the light to die or after so many months of it running?

in Bodhi news: my tri-sunshine daydream is looking great. i'll get up some pictures of her soon. 8-)

:peace:
I've got a light meter that I use to see how much wear has occurred. Generally I change mine out every 6 months, usually when I change carbon filter.

Also tried cheap bulbs and expensive. No discernable difference

You buy a new filter every 6 months? Holy shit bro, what kinda filter you get? Just curious because most are supposed to be good for atleast a year if not more if its quality.

thanks @TonightYou that helps a lot; haven't noticed my filter needing to be changed, but have noticed some deficiency/slow growth in the plants lately and was leaning toward this being the cause. gonna try and get it changed out tonight!

Not always but I'm proactive because apartment living. Best filter I've tried is actually hydrofarm probably second is phresh.

Any hint and the filter is replaced.

Eta: a year is a lie. I also think many of us growers get accustomed to the aroma and not notice the changes as non smokers/growers do

Do you keep your house warm in the winter? A much cooler grow area could contribute to slower plants than normal.
